On a day of firsts for the club, the Dolphins held their first pre-season training session with plenty of interest in how the side would shape up in 2023.
With many of the club’s more established recruits like Anthony Milford , Felise Kaufusi and the Bromwich brothers Jesse and Kenny still in England for the Rugby League World Cup, it was club’s fresh faces and train and trialists who were on show on the training paddock as excitement continue to build for the club's inaugural season.
“Terry [Reader – Dolphins CEO] has made the point about all the starts and how many times I have been asked about being a part of something [new]; let’s just get to the kick off in three months’ time," Bennett said."We’ll all be in a better place [then] and have an understanding of what’s in front of us."
When all hands are back on deck, including assistant coach Kristian Woolf who has also been at the World Cup with Tonga, Bennett said that only then would the club be able to fully turn their focus to the 2023 campaign and beyond. “It will be a process, if it takes five years or 10 years, who knows. But get the process right, and you’re a lot closer to success.
